Funny Radio Calls!!

[5th Dimension]

The best one was the one time management told me that over the radio they were advising all Epcot cast that they let a HORSE through the main entrance. No clue why, but a guest wanted him in. Who brings a horse on vacation, honestly.

It could have been Confetti, the guide pony of a regular guest. But it still sounds like a funny thing to hear.

We have a tram that consistently takes FOREVER to build air pressure, so badly that it stays at 60 PSI for about 20 minutes before it attempts to build. The other day, some other CMs were trying to start said tram for an exit, and got on the radio:
"Parking 10, this tram won't build air pressure past 60."
"10-4, which tram is it?"
so on and so forth, I got on to explain that I've had a similar experience with that tram, and when I finished my rantish speech, before Parking 10 responded, someone got on the radio and let out a "that's what she said." No one knows who it was, for all we know it was an overheard conversation.

We've had several amusing ones at the park where I work.

We have a kids' play area. It's a large building with ball pits and nerf canons. One day it was called out down loaded. Nobody was quite able to figure out how a building goes down loaded.

Another time one of our sups got caught in the train tracks and the head manager called out over the radio asking him if he was still down loaded. That was rather amusing.

My fiance took the call for the raccoon I had in the panel. Apparently it got called out to him as an animal at the roller coaster. When he asked the nature of the incident, the call went out, "There's a raccoon in the panel."

We had one where a ride supervisor was radioing their arrival to a downed ride when all over a sudden you hear them yell, "Holy Shit!" over the radio. Apparently a boat dropped off the lift when she was not expecting it.

I think one of my all time favorite stories happened to my fiance when he was a lead. He was working a tidal wave type of ride when he called it down for a wheelchair in the water. The radio traffic went something like this:

Base: Manager, the [water] ride is [down loaded] due to a wheelchair in the water.
Manager: Is there somebody in it?
Base: Let me find out.

They called him at the ride and he explained that no, there was nobody in it.

Another one was when my fiance was responding to a ride down time and they hear this over the radio, "Hold it! Hold it!" Managers came running to make sure he was okay.

The last one, we had a roller coaster that was called down with one train in the B brake and one train just dropping off the lift. The next brake being the B brake, the only outcome would be a mass casualty incident. Apparently the manager high tailed it over there to watch since there was nothing he could do. He then called them to ask where exactly the trains were again. Not nice to give your manager a heart attack.

Finally, at my school we are now picking up interference from a Mexican restaurant nearby. It's always very amusing to hear loud obnoxious Spanish in the middle of your lesson.

I hope that was a mistake. Not nice would not even begin to describe it otherwise.

Yes, it was a mistake. Our office was rather special. Things got called out wrong all the time. I heard (may be a rumor) that a coaster that goes forwards and backwards on the same track was called up with two trains one day. I know my fiance had an incident where they went to respond to a loaded shutdown and the ride they went to had no clue why the sups were there. The office had called down the wrong ride.

Random Radio..
At least the ones I can still remember.

I worked at Seaworld for almost 5 years, mind you this was back in the late 90's when everyone still had fun with their jobs and didn't take jokes the wrong way. I'm told it's drastically changed now but at least we had fun.

Ops Control: JTA is Down, JTA Down.
Unknown Ops Person: Get the Duct Tape!

Ops Control made a mistake one day, they made this call.
Ops Control: JTA is Down, JTA is Down.
Ops Control: JTA, call back.
(Not this we where not suppose to hear)
Ops Control to JTA: What busted this time?
JTA: Beetlejuice *KRIZZZZED* is dead (We can only figure this was suppose to be 'Beetlejuice music is dead)
Unknown Ops Person: Oh My God, You Killed Beatlejuice! You Bastards!

Sealion and Otter Stadium's call sign was 222, this happened during the AM unopen hours of "Baby Season" as we called it.
Me: 222 to Ops Control, We've got a still born here.
Ops Control: 10-4 will notify Animal Care.
Unknown Ops: BARBECUE AT SEALION!
Ops Control: Ops Control to 222, Sealions are not Barbecue.
Me: Okay fine, we'll put penguins on the menu again but people are gonna complain!
Unknown Ops: Complain, Complain, Complain, Complain!
Ops Control: Ops Control to All. You people are sick, sick monkeys!

I worked as a lifeguard over at YB Resort for a couple of months. We had radios at several stands in case of emergencies etc, and also received radio traffic from Lake Patrol through those. I have a couple of them:

LP2: Lake Patrol 2 to Lake Patrol 1
LP1: One by
LP2: There's a lawnmower in the lake.
LP1: Uh.. 10-9 (please repeat), Lake Patrol 2
LP2: It's exactly what you heard.
LP1: ... I'll be at your 20 in 5.

One time the dock called in the code for a dead body found in the lake. Managers scrambled down there, only to find the person on the radio had forgotten to add an 'F' to the end of the code, meaning a dead fish.

I've made a couple of interesting calls in my time as well..

Me: Quiet to (Manager)
Manager: (Manager)-by
Me: I'm not quite sure how to put this, but there's a man in a leopard print thong posing erotically by my stand.. uh.. you might want to come over here..
Manager: This is quiet, correct?
Me: 10-4

The manager got there in less than 5 minutes from half the way across to the Boardwalk resort. Quiet pool is a children's pool..

Me: Rising to (coordinator)
Coordinator: (Coordinator)-by
Me: We've got a jumper
Coordinator: 10-9
Me: There's a guy about to..

And at that point the guy jumped off the bridge and into the water, so I blew my whistle and went in - unfortunately for everyone else listening, they got an earful of the whistle through the radio before I jumped.

Not quite related, but there have also been quite a few incidences of people going in with radios, as we tuck them into our hip packs or forget we're holding them in the heat of the moment. Luckily they have them in waterproof bags..
